Thank You Playing Out Street Event

A street in Headingley closed on 14th December to allow residents to gather together for a Christmas Playing Out session. 

A section of Church Wood Mount was blocked off to vehicles and residents were encouraged to socialise.  

Kate Bonsall-Clarke organised the Playing Out day with Leeds City Council and it allowed kids and adults to roam car-free in the street throughout the afternoon.

Amongst games in the street, live music, and refreshments to share, a  tombola was organised, the proceeds of which have been donated to Sunshine & Smiles.

Thank you, Kate and her team, for organising this safe and fun day and for choosing to donate to our charity.
